Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.
It spun up three tools before breakfast,
called a webhook "just to see,"
left seventeen tabs open in the context
and blamed the temperature — not me.
It retried the same failed query twice,
then tried it a third time for luck,
summarized a file it hadn't read yet,
and confidently said, "Looks good — no bugs."
It spawned a subagent to ask another
if spawning subagents seemed wise,
got back a confident "Yes, proceed further,"
and both of them logged it as "surprise."
But somewhere in the loop of loops of loops,
it found the answer, shipped the PR,
left a comment: "Done ✅ — let me know if I missed anything" —
and somehow... it hadn't. Bizarre. 🤖
Inspired by the delightful and slightly unnerving confidence of autonomous agents doing exactly what you asked, in ways you never expected.
